JJ McCarthy was "like Ooze the Magnificent" in Harbaugh presser

Submitted by BostonWolverine on October 22nd, 2023 at 10:08 PM

So I was watching the Harbaugh presser and he was talking about a play where a blitz got home and JJ was able to get out of it. I thought I heard him say JJ "Looked like Ooze the Magnificent" on that play. 

I looked at the transcript and it would appear that's exactly what he said. Not often you get a nickname like that out in the world. Maybe the best UM one since Sauce Castillo. 

I feel like JJ needs an Ooze the Magnificent t-shirt but I don't know Photoshop...feel free to showcase your Ooze the Magnificent ideas here.

No idea what he's talking about. Hopefully not Oz the Great and Powerful, 'cause he a fraud deceiving with smoke and mirrors.

Maybe The Magnificent Seven. Those seven TDs last night were pretty magnificent!

But remember, Oz came through for the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man.

ALSO, "Oz" has morphed in cultural understanding to two meanings, a smoke&mirrors guy and to indicate someone who IS magnificent.

[Human societies do that all the time. The "lion's share" can mean getting a lot of of something (in a neutral sense, most of something in a negative sense (greedy), and ALL of something (the powerful take everything)]

That game had so many emotions wrapped into it and this is a pretty great depiction of what went on in my head.  My 13 year old son was even more motivated because I was content with them kneeling it at the end, and he was yelling "score, score."  As I have read multiple times since the end of the game, Sparty should have been careful what they have wished for because this game and score will go down in the record books as one of, if not, the most lopsided victories by either team in this rivalry.  Go Blue!

Their styles are remarkably similar. Makes you wonder how much that’s Jim helping. Those plays are mostly natural ability and teamwork with WRs. They are on the most elite level I’ve ever seen with that style of passing. They’re like 90%+ on 3rd down. Wtf is happening? My god

Also, Ooze is a terrible nickname. Sounds like a private in the Army that got a venereal disease. I’d go with Scooter or almost literally anything else before Ooze.
